I've already had more orders today and it's only 10am.</div><div><br /></div><div>So not much time for the craft I want to do at the moment. Still we had a lovely holiday from home last week. My other half had a week off so we got out and about and had a bit of normal life which was lovely, Each of us picked a day out.

I hope you are all keeping well. Sorry I missed you last week, I can't remember why, but hey, we've broken up for summer now so there's no excuse not to join in every week. It feels a bit cheeky to say we've broken up when school has only been back 6 weeks but it's been a hectic 6 weeks and I think the teachers are definitely ready for a break, they haven't had one since February half term working through Easter and Spring Bank providing cover for the key workers.<br />
<br />
So, my desk is the dining table today.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I've given you two views.<br />
<br />
One is a bit of a painting experiment I'm playing with. I've been loving watching "Home Is Where The Art is" on the TV at the moment and there has been some amazing artists featured. I've particularly liked the Abstract Art. Who knew!!!! Turns out I would be quite happy to have it one my wall. So I'm just playing to see what happens. It might be painted over yet but I've covered the canvas with stencilled texture paste so if it doesn't turn into anything I like I'll just start again.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi31XJXcnCZ1m9umIOiH8zgi848L-iffl3Z81KQ6UVWW_Om2nadOXiOUrf6MIhUyhZ8coOTI0QWXFXuBxWlo8-3yWEm29_MnU9RU7tA2430qbQ-qKLUir5bAgof7fMOHcNiINza5pZbp2E/s1600/20200721_154544.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi31XJXcnCZ1m9umIOiH8zgi848L-iffl3Z81KQ6UVWW_Om2nadOXiOUrf6MIhUyhZ8coOTI0QWXFXuBxWlo8-3yWEm29_MnU9RU7tA2430qbQ-qKLUir5bAgof7fMOHcNiINza5pZbp2E/s400/20200721_154544.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The long view shows how messy our dining table is. My sewing machine lives there permanently and is set up ready to quilt the piece I shared last time.<br />
<br />
DD has also been having a play with pyrography and there are some bits of wood she has been practising on in the back ground.<br />
<br />
I've also finished painting my powertex lady. I made her ages ago but never got round to painting her.<br />
<br />

I hope you are keeping well and safe today.<br />
<br />
Sorry I haven't been around for a few weeks, various things have meant Wednesdays have disappeared before I realised. I thought going back to work would bring some routine but it seems to have thrown it all out and I never know what day it is. Maybe that's just my age!!<br />
<br />
Anyway, not much happening on my desk today.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Some sprayed journal pages that were left to dry and haven't got any further. I think I ran out of mojo but I've lots of lock down photos I want to record so maybe they will get a bit further later today.<br />
<br />
I've still been making masks. I even had to go out and buy more fabric, although it's nice that you can do that now. This looks like it'll be ongoing the more people get used to wearing them and are going out more. It's nice to be doing my bit!!<br />
<br />
With the sewing machine out all the time I've finished the top of my lockdown quilt made with all the scraps left from the masks.<br />

I hope I find you well this cloudy Wednesday morning. Sorry I haven't joined in with you for a few weeks. The beautiful weather pulled me outside and then I had to go back to work on June 1st, which was a bit of a shock to the system. Coming out of this situation is much harder than going into it and I've found myself really struggling with joining the outside world again, not something I've ever experienced before and I'm not sure I like it much. Thankfully, the school office is very quiet. I am on my own and although we have some children back in school, it is a very different world and I rarely see them as they are kept in their classrooms or outside all day. We have Years 1 & 6 back this week and with Reception returning next week and a class of keyworker children, the school is being fully used so goodness knows where the other years will go when they eventually return. Thank goodness it is not my job to work out these logistics. Our Head Teacher is certainly earning her money at the minute.<br />
<br />
Anyway onto desk things. Here is my desk this morning.<br />

Pretty uninteresting to be honest. I have just finished various projects I had on the go and all that's on there at the moment are some photos waiting to be put in my journal and my morning cuppa. Unfortunately, not Yorkshire Tea, Sandra.<br />
<br />
I have two birthdays next week. This is my MIL's 80th card using the gorgeous Lavina Stamp bunny.<br />

And I went a bit more extreme for my sister with one of my favourite AALL and Create stamps. I inked an acrylic block, spritzed it and stamped with it to create the background and I really like the effect it created. I hope she likes it too.<br />

Well, I think that's me this week. If you want to share your desk with a lovely group of people then pop over to see Julia at <a href="http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/">WOYWW</a> headquarters.<br />
<br />
I'm on my way over to see what everyone's been up doing.<br />
<br />
Enjoy your Wednesday, Take care and Happy Crafting!!lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13533979776735822901noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4639144566633088080.post-57001157840473900062020-05-06T10:39:00.001+01:002020-05-06T10:39:23.627+01:00WOYWW 570Morning Gentle Deskers from a very sunny Yorkshire. I hope I find you well this Wednesday morning. I don't know where the weeks are going. Despite not having much of a routine they are just flying by, that must be a good sign, the sunny weather helps. I hope you are not struggling too much. Personally, I think this might be the easy bit, what comes next will be much harder and more scary. I've been into school for a few days these past couple of weeks to get things ready for the little new starters in September and you realise how things are going to have to change in schools, even down to the everyday things such as dinner time and sticking a plaster on a bumped knee.<br />
<br />
Anyway, that is for another day. Here is my desk today.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I am still on with my journal. A bit behind, when the sun shines I'm outside so not crafting. This page is the day we fetched DD home from Uni with all her stuff.<br />
<br />
I also have several other desks today, well why be content with just one!!!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
On the dining table my sewing machine is set up for face covering production. I have several orders from family and work colleagues and have been waiting for a delivery of elastic, which arrived yesterday, so it's all systems go now. I have lots of pretty fabric, don't look at the boxes of chocolate, they're just a figment of your imagination!!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And here's my outside desk. This is very much a WIP. I'm sowing very old seeds with the hope that some might germinate as I hadn't got round to buying many new packets when the garden centres shut. I take the attitude that if I get one to come through, that's one plant I wouldn't have otherwise. It's quite rewarding. I did buy the tomato plant though.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And just to finish, I have also been having a go at painting. I'm very much a beginner but really enjoy having a play. This little puffin was fun and I like the colours.<br />
<br />
Well that's me today, if you want to join in with this lovely desk hop each week, pop over to see Julia at <a href="http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/">WOYWW</a> headquarters and join up.<br />

I hope I find you well and happy this beautiful Wednesday morning. Here we are going through week 5 of staying home and staying safe and I have to say, thanks to the amazing weather, I'm quite enjoying it now. As long as I can get in the garden and feel some sunshine I'm a happy bunny. I think a lot of this has to do with the awfully stressful 6 months I had previous to lockdown and to have the outside world removed for awhile is what I needed.<br />
<br />
Anyway, here's my desk today.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I've been doing some scrapbooking, something I love to do and don't always find the time normally. This is my second page in a week of our trip to London last year for DD's 18th birthday.<br />
<br />
I've still been taking photos during the week of things we have been doing to put in my lockdown journal.<br />
<br />
We planted some lettuce, pea and carrot seeds. I even managed to persuade DD to leave her tablet for an afternoon to help.<br />

I hope I find you well, staying safe and getting used to this strange life we are leading now.<br />
<br />
Here's my desk this morning.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It's now become my work desk in the morning as Hubby is at home too for part of the week and is using the dining table so I've retreated to my craft room. Although school is still open, there are only about 3 children in each day so the office has been closed and our office manager and I are both working from home. I'm looking after our website. The parents are sending photos of what the children are up to during their home learning so I am putting them onto the website everyday so that they can see each other. It's a lovely job to have. I'm enjoying it.<br />
<br />
The days are going by well and I've only managed one afternoon of crafting so far. We've tried making some bread and have caught up on a few jobs and I was in the garden last week in that lovely weather.<br />
<br />
I did manage to finish my mop up piece I was working on the other week though. Here he is.<br />
<br />

<br />
My secret weakness are the AALL and Create stamps. I just love them and intend to really have a play with them during this lockdown.<br />
<br />
Just to give you a smile today here's our cat, Tibby chasing bumblebees in the garden and also enjoying sitting in the back of my t-towel drawer in the kitchen. Why do they do this?<br />

I hope I find you well, staying at home or social distancing if you are one of the amazing key workers looking after us all in this strange days. Although I work in a school, which is open, I do part time admin in the office, not teaching so nothing essential and therefore I'm staying at home. The teachers are in 2 per day looking after the few children now coming to school and doing fun things. I have found out today though that our Office Manager is staying home from tomorrow so I may need to go in and answer phones and send in the attendance stuff, I'm just waiting to hear.<br />
<br />
Here is my desk very early this morning. I haven't been near it since Sunday so it's a bit of mess as things have just been dumped amongst the bits and pieces that I was doing on Saturday.<br />
<br />

<br />
The pieces from last week's WOYWW are there, no further than they were and my journal is the WIP I was working on. I intended to do a layout for each month and this was January. With the way things have changed in just a week though I'm now going to do a daily diary taking some photos each day with what's going on and what is good about the day. We are living through history at the moment and it'll be done for GSCE no doubt in 50 years time.<br />
<br />
So here are my photos from yesterday.<br />

I hope you are staying healthy and looking after each other in these strange times we find ourselves living in.<br />
<br />
I have a Training Day today, something we usually look forward to but not knowing how long school will stay open for, going to work feels a bit of a luxury at the minute and the kids are such a joy they make you smile when there isn't much joy about. Watching them washing their hands on mass is amazing. They do it without being told now.<br />
<br />
Anyway, here's my desk this morning, well it's the dining table.<br />

I was having a play with a gelli plate and some Lavinia stamps I had for Christmas and was using a piece of card to clean my brayer on. I liked the scrap so much I decided to make something with it using some new AALL and Create stamps. It's still a work in progress, I've got some bits and pieces cut out to add. It might be finished by next week.<br />
<br />
These are the pieces I made with the Lavinia stamps, waiting to be made into cards.<br />

I'm a bit late to the party today but at least I'm here and what a lovely sunny day it is. Maybe Spring is just round the corner.<br />
<br />
Here's my desk today.<br />
<br />

<br />
A bit of a mess I know but I'm in the middle of a marathon card making session. My stocks are seriously low so it's all go at the minute.<br />
<br />
I did manage a bit of a play at the weekend though. Hubby gave me a piece of hardboard he didn't want so I had a play with some Stamperia rice paper, which I've had for ages. The lady is also on rice paper, but I wanted to keep the original so this is a traced image that I then painted. I had no idea she would end up with blue hair, but I like it.<br />

<br />
We've had so many different seasons over the last couple of weeks. The river flooded the immediate area, which is mostly just a play park but was impressive.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And then we woke up to a covering a snow, which was a surprise. It didn't last too long but caused a bit of rush hour disruption.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's been awhile but I'm slipping quietly back amongst you and it's really lovely to be here.<br />
<br />
My thoughts go out to all those who are caught up in these dreadful floods and I hope you are all safe and dry today.<br />
<br />
It's been a roller coaster of a couple of years here in The Craft Garden. I started working full time 12 months ago along with caring for my Mum, our darling daughter when off to Edgehill University near Liverpool in September, a day I had been dreading for a long time, but she is having an amazing time and loves it, thank goodness but I do miss her. Then sadly my poor Mum passed away in December after a short illness. Since then I have been caught up in paperwork and clearing her house, along with work, which doesn't leave much time for anything but it keeps me busy which is what I need at the minute.<br />
<br />
However, drum roll please, now it's Half Term, I actually have a desk to share with you.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
My hubby bought me the Elizabeth Crafts planner and some dies for Christmas and it's perfect. I don't have a lot of time at the minute but this is small enough to enable me to get creative and also scrapbook at the same time but quickly. I made 3 sets of pages over the weekend.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This is the page I'm on today, I took some old photos off my phone that I'd forgotten about. I can't even remember when I took these.<br />
<br />
And this is the one before it. We went to visit DD last weekend, it's a good excuse for a weekend away, and she took us into Liverpool on the train. I hadn't been before and although the city is much like any other, I did like the dock area. It was blowing a gale but sun was out.<br />

<br />
Well, that's me today. I am looking forward very much to catching up with you all and seeing what you've been up to.<br />
<br />
By the way, I've just noticed that it's exactly 100 WOYWW weeks since I last joined it....that must be a sign. I am determined to be here every week again from now on. Make sure you visit Julia at <a href="http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/">WOYWW</a> headquarters and join in too.<br />
<br />

I hope I find you well this Wednesday morning. At least the sun is shining and the snow has gone again here.<br />
<br />
Here's my desk as of yesterday.<br />

<br />
It's been a bit chilly in my craft room so I'm back on the dining table in the warm and doing some scrapbooking. I took this photo of my DD during the first cold spell when she helped me walk through the snow to do my Mum's shopping and I liked it so much it just needed to be scrapped. I'm just procrastinating on what to put as a title. Always the bit I struggle with as it needs to be right.<br />
<br />
Here's the finished page so you can see what I settled on!!<br />

Well, that's about it for this week. I just thought I'd leave you with another picture of the snow, this time from last Sunday when we braved the cold to go for a walk and take some photos.<br />

Wow, it's soooooo good to be able to join you again this week. I've actually managed a bit of crafting so here's my desk as of yesterday afternoon. Look at that lovely sunshine.<br />

I bought a couple of new Pixie Powder colours last weekend so sat down after work yesterday to have a look at how the colours looked when sprayed with water and ended up having a lovely couple of hours just playing and I ended up with a journal page. Don't you love when art just happens when you least expect it.<br />
<br />
Here's the finished page.<br />

We had another surprise snow day last Thursday when nothing and no one got out until lunchtime as the snow fell on a thick layer of ice. Thankfully, when the sun came out there was a quick thaw but this was our road at 8am.<br />

That should cover everything I've missed since I last joined in with the gentle desk hop.<br />
<br />
It's been a bit of a time here at The Craft Garden. Surfice to say Life through us a curve ball mid November, my general fit and healthy 81 year old Mum suddenly became seriously unwell and off to hospital she was taken. Pneumonia was diagnosed but after responding to treatment we then had to break her out of hospital nearly 3 weeks later. I thought they were short of beds!!!!! I won't moan but she was desperate to get home and really depressed at being kept in but tests that were scheduled kept being postponed even though she was medically fit to be discharged. So, she discharged herself and is now going to do the tests as an outpatient. She is recovering slowly, good days and bad days but is glad to be in her own home with her friends popping in and out and my sister and I keeping a very close eye on her<br />
So....... I have a bit of a desk to share with you at long last.<br />
<br />

I took this last night hence the poor light although it was so dark all day I don't think it would have made much difference! A bit of gentle scrapbooking to try and get the old mojo kick started again.<br />
I'm just playing with sprays and inks and seeing what evolves.<br />
<br />
The last time I was with you I was making some scrapbooks for Christmas presents, which did get finished. Here are the end results and some pictures on the insides. There are lots of tutorials on line for these if anyone is interested.<br />

These Wednesdays come round alarmingly quickly don't they?<br />
<br />
I have two desks on the go this week.<br />
<br />
Here's my usual one<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirjA3Os0Ii5uLDCo4P6n2mxQmFEq-T1QQYwe351xvUrZLfzte5xYyjdQZ53yO5Q0ntYtFLAl7iY7Wx3WpStSLjfddiMelzCQSSUOWF09IZRcroLdZWEkoAbJqmO4uM_kGsIytdyQOEtxc/s1600/P1010454.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirjA3Os0Ii5uLDCo4P6n2mxQmFEq-T1QQYwe351xvUrZLfzte5xYyjdQZ53yO5Q0ntYtFLAl7iY7Wx3WpStSLjfddiMelzCQSSUOWF09IZRcroLdZWEkoAbJqmO4uM_kGsIytdyQOEtxc/s400/P1010454.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
You all put me to shame with your Christmas activities so I actually managed to start my cards last week. This is a first for me, I usual end up doing them at the last minute but am trying to be organised this year and a bit ahead of the game if I can. I'm keeping them simple, but am not sharing them yet as they are still a WIP.<br />
<br />
Here's my other desk, the dining table.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
More Christmas activity. I'm making some mini scrapbooks for Christmas presents. It's a long tome since I've done this kind of thing and am really enjoying the process. I have so many paper pads that it's nice to actually be using some of them.<br />
<br />
There's also 2 boxes of new nail varnish that the Avon man has just delivered!!<br />
<br />
I was having a mooch around u-tube the other day and came across some brilliant tutorials from Stamperia and thought I'd have a go at one of them.<br />
<br />
This is the result.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The tutorial used an image printed onto rice paper and then painted in, which I didn't have so I hand drew my figure. The texture paste was very forgiving so I think I got away with it. I love all the texture and also the colours which are very different for me. I added some lace onto her dress and lots of glitter and stamped and cut out all the butterflies. They were stencilled on the original but I didn't have one. <br />
<br />

I hope I find you well today on the 1st day of November. This time last year we were in the middle of my Mum's house move, I can't believe a year has whizzed past!!<br />
<br />
Anyway, here's my desk as of last night.<br />

I've been asked to make a suitcase gift box for a friend to give a travel voucher in. This is the 2nd attempt but I'm quite pleased with it. I just want to add some travel bits and pieces and tickets to the front and somewhere for her to write a greeting on and then I'm done. I hope she likes it.<br />
<br />
I can also share a birthday card I made a week or so ago as it's been safely received now. All Sheena Douglass stamps and some distress inks splodged about.<br />

It was half term last week and we managed to get out and about, including a day in Ambleside in The Lake District. The sun kept threatening to come out and it managed to stay dry and made for some lovely photos. It's still one of my favourite places in the country.<br />

I also had a few days in the garden, which is still looking really colourful thanks to the mild autumn up to now.<br />

It's been a few weeks since I've been able to join you, but it's great to be back.<br />
<br />
Here's my desk this morning.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It's a bit of a mess. I haven't spent much time there lately, Mr Mojo went on holiday, but I decided to play in my journal and see if I could persuade him to return. This page has been developing for some months but I'm just going to put some wording on it and I think I'm done.<br />
<br />
I've spent more time in the garden. I wanted to make some big changes and while the weather has been good I've been moving plants round and clearing out. I also got round to putting out my homemade poppy heads, made from Powertex in the summer. I will probably move them several times until I'm finally happy with where they are but for now I can see them from my kitchen window over the winter.<br />
<br />

We had the weird orange sky like the rest of the country yesterday, it was so spooky, dark and orange as it was raining, but then within an hour of getting home, the sun came out and the sky turned blue. I took these photos within an hour of each other!!<br />

Last week we went to Light Night in Leeds. Lots of buildings were illuminated and there were all sorts of things happening all to do with light. It was great. I loved these giant bees that climbed up the front of a hotel.<br />

Don't these Wednesdays fly by. We are back to school and work this week after the summer holidays and it's like we've never been away.<br />
<br />
Here's my desk this morning. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I've got my cuppa and I'm at the start of some scrapping of the holiday photos. I couldn't find any paper that had on what I wanted so I've been colouring some flowers and cutting them out. I have an idea in my head of what I want to do but knowing me it'll go where it wants anyway.<br />
<br />
I finished the hanging heart from last week and am quite pleased with how it turned out. I put some foamiran flowers on it to finish it off.<br />

Well, short and sweet this week, I'm meeting up with a friend I haven't seen for several years today so am really looking forward to that, so I'll be round to see what you've been up to later in the day.<br />

<br />
I'm having a play with a new stamp I bought back in the spring that hasn't seen ink up to now and have been trying to colour her with some watercolour pencils. DD thinks she looks sad, that's probably something to do with my colouring, I'm not sure. She is going to go on a hanging heart hopefully. An idea I found on Pinterest. What would we do without Pinterest when Mr Mojo deserts us?<br />
<br />
We had a lovely day out on Bank Holiday Monday to a local National Trust house, Beningborough Hall near York. The weather was beautiful and so were the gardens.<br />

I mentioned last time that we were nervously waiting for exam results. Well, I'm delighted to say that DD did amazingly well in her GCSE's and we are very proud of her. She is now looking forward to doing her chosen A'Levels, Art, Photography, Maths and Ethics. <br />
<br />
Sorry I didn't manage to get round many desks last week, despite my good intentions. I will do better this week. If you want to share your desk with us, then pop over to <a href="http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/">WOYWW</a> headquarters and link up with the lovely Julia.<br />
<br />
Have a lovely Wednesday whatever you are up too and Happy Crafting!!<br />

I don't think much of this summer weather to be honest with you!! I bet when the schools go back it'll be gorgeous again.<br />
<br />
Well here is my desk this morning.<br />

On the dining table as it's perfect to be able to pick up and put down when I have a minute or the weather is too rubbish to be able to go out. A bag of pick "n" mix have been helping the creative juices!<br />
<br />
I'm in the middle of using up some scraps from a recent scrapbook session...waste not want not. <br />
We'll see where it goes, I'm just playing really.<br />
<br />
Hubby asked me for a "new home" card for a work colleague at the weekend and this is what I came up with. Ended up making a few as I'd made quite a large piece of the background so felt quite productive.<br />

It's been awhile since I've managed to join in with you deskers, the summer holidays have been pretty busy, but in a good way. <br />
<br />
We had a fabulous 2 weeks in Greece, beautiful scenery, people, weather and food and came back feeling totally refreshed and revived.<br />

I hope I find you well this sunny morning here in Yorkshire.<br />
Sorry I haven't been around for the last couple of weeks, we had a Ofsted Inspection at school which meant long days and then Blogger decided to fall out with me and I couldn't do anything on it. All sorted now, thanks to me lovely Hubby.<br />
<br />
Here's my desk this morning.<br />

<br />
As you can see there's no crafting happening as other exciting things are afoot. Holidays are imminent so my room gets used as a collecting ground as people start putting out their bits and pieces ready for packing.<br />
<br />
I did do a bit of crafting at the weekend. Here's the WIP. I'm making some Powertex poppy seed heads for the garden. They are now waiting to be painted which is when they should come to life.<br />

DD had her Prom a couple of weeks ago so I spent a whole day shortening her dress, my new sewing machine certainly got a good work out, but she looked beautiful so it was all worthwhile. Where have the last 16 years gone?<br />

A bit of a dumping ground. Nothing further has happened on the journal page which is now buried beneath a pile of stuff. I bought some lovely sheets of gems on a little trip to Hobbycraft and found a lovely wooden whirlygig organiser for my desk from a new shop nearby. I also discovered foamiran last week after watching a lady demo it on the telebox, which is what's in the plastic bag.<br />
<br />
This makes lovely flowers very easily by heating it and scrunching it. I'm still learning but this was my first attempt. I can see this becoming a bit of an obsession as it's only 60p for a A4 sheet and that'll make loads of flowers. As you can see I ended up buying lots of colours to play with. <br />

Well, short and sweet from me today. Exams have finished.....hurray. We are now lurching towards prom night. I wish we'd had such things in my day. Pretty dresses and fancy hair do's.<br />

I haven't had a lot of time this week so have been playing in my room in little chunks so a bit of journalling seemed like a good idea. I have no plan and am just adding bits each time I go in so who knows how it will end up. I also find some pots of sprays and glitter paint I didn't know I had so those are out there to be tried out.<br />
<br />
We were fed up being cooped up by the rain last Saturday afternoon so had a lovely visit to a local National Trust property, East Riddlesden Hall, which is only 20 minutes away.<br />

I thought Autumn had arrived early!!<br />
<br />
It was such a wet day yesterday and there had been a bit of stress in the craft garden after a particularly horrible English Language GSCE first thing that we did a bit of chilling in the afternoon and got the painting stuff out and followed an online class from the very talented Alison C Board so that is my desk today.<br />

We used watercolour and Brushos and had a lovely few hours. I also got the stamps out much to DD's consternation, being a very particular painter, but she relented eventually and started stamping on hers too.<br />

I love painting but am no expert so don't normally share what I do, but I will today if you promise not to look too carefully, there are some very dodgy bits, but it's the process not the result that counts and I do believe that, even though I'm my own worse critic.<br />

I also want to thank everyone who swapped ATC's with me, LLJ, Margaret, Angela, Annie, Jo, Shaz, Neet, Sandra and BJ they have been a real joy to receive and each one is so different and I love them. Apologies to LLJ, I forgot to get yours down off my board to add into the photo, and also to BJ, yours is in the post I promise.<br />
